TRUST.

By S. S. Times

WONDERING how God can do his part is wasting the time that we need for ours. If we trust God, we may well leave to him the things we can not do ourselves. Can we atone for our sins? can we forgive ourselves? can we make the seed we sow germinate, or guarantee the harvest? can we read the riddle of suffering, or "Find in loss a gain to match, Or reach a hand through time to catch The far-off interest of tears"?

No. We may leave these things to God. He is faithful and just to forgive. His word shall not return unto him void. He is causing all things to work together for good to those who have made his purpose their purpose. In the meantime there is no better way to show our trust than to busy ourselves with the things he asks us to do. Trusting him to take care of his share leaves us "at leisure from ourselves" to do our share of the "Father's business."—S. S. Times.
